12、人工智能(AI)系统,在Yelp网站上编写虚假评论,足以乱真。其目的是强调这些系统可以很容易地写出像人类写的一样的评论,如果它们没有被恰当地运用,它们会变得具有破坏性,而威胁远远不止如此。1.Whatcanthenewartificialintelligencesystemdoaccordingtothepassage?A.Itcanhelptrainnewreviewers.B.Itcantelltherealreviewsfromthefakeones.C.Itcanwritehuman-likereviews.D.Itcaneasilydamagethebusinesses.答案C解析细
